Does shea butter expire?

The typical shelf life of unrefined shea butter is about 24 months (2 years) from the date of manufacture and packaging. This is an approximate shelf life affected by storage and temperature. The last two are very important to keep in mind!

In Nigeria, SMEs contribute 48% of national GDP, account for 96% of businesses and 84% of employment. With a total number of about 17.4 million, they account for about 50% of industrial jobs and nearly 90% of the manufacturing sector, in terms of number of enterprises.

Quality Sheabutter available at affordable price

I think there's a mix-up on page 1 where you quoted the price of 1 metric ton of shea nuts to be N100k. Later, you you quoted the price of 1kg of shea nuts to be N950.

From my understanding, 1,000 Kg make up 1 metric ton.

Thus, if 1 kg of shea nuts = N950;
1,000 kg of shea nuts = N950 x 1,000
= N950,000.00
(Nine Hundred and Fifty Thousand Naira) Only.

Your write - up is is very informative. Thank you.

Shea butter also offers UV-protection and has strong anti-inflammatory properties. It comes from the nuts of Karité trees that grow in the Sahel region and can be found in the dry savannah belt of Nigeria. The tree starts to bear fruit when it is 15 years and reaches full production at 20 years.

There is more demand for Shea butter than is currently produced. Rural-based women from time immemorial have been using manual traditional methods to process about 60% of all the crude butter produced in Nigeria at a relatively low extraction rate of about 25%. Currently, the production of Shea butter is often done manually in semi-industrial and small 100% industrial scale in Nigeria.
